any Person, the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of any
provision contained in this Agreement.
5. Covenants. Representations and Warranties of Company Stockholders.
Each Company Stockholder (severally, and not jointly and severally) hereby

Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. Such Company Stockholder (that
is a natural person) has the requisite legal capacity and competency, and the
full legal right to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform his or her
obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by such Company Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding
agreement enforceable against such Company Stockholder in accordance with its
terms except (i) as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting creditors' rights, and (ii) that the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to
equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefore may be brought.
(c) No Conflicts. Except for filings, authorizations, consents
and approvals as may be required under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
(i) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any
state or federal governmental authority, or any other Person, is necessary for

by such Company Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii)
none of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Company
Stockholder, the consummation by such Company Stockholder of the transactions
contemplated hereby or compliance by such Company Stockholder with any of the
provisions hereof will (A) conflict with or result in any breach of the
organizational documents of such Company Stockholder (that is not a natural
person), (B) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without
notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party
right of termination, cancellation, material modification or acceleration) under
any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, loan agreement, bond,
mortgage, indenture, license, contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding,
agreement or other instrument or obligation of any kind to which such Company
Stockholder is a party or by which such Company Stockholder or any of its

decree, judgment, statute, role or regulation applicable to such Company
Stockholder or any of his or its properties or assets.
(d) No Encumbrances. Such Company Stockholder owns his, her or
its Company Shares free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests,
proxies, voting trusts or agreements, or any other encumbrances whatsoever,
except for (i) any such matters arising hereunder and (ii) bona fide pledges of
such shares as security for obligations owed to the Company; provided, however,
in the event that the Company acquires any interest in all or any of such
shares, including, without limitation, legal or beneficial ownership thereof or
any voting rights with respect thereto, whether through foreclosure or
otherwise, the Company hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
with respect to such shares as if it were the Company Stockholder.
3
(e) Reliance by Parent and Sub. Such Company Stockholder
understands and acknowledges that Parent and Sub are entering into the Merger
Agreement in reliance upon such Company Stockholder's execution and delivery of,
and compliance with, this Agreement.
(f) Stockholder Capacity. Such Company Stockholder who is or
becomes during the Term a director of the Company makes any agreement or
understanding herein in his or her capacity as a stockholder of the Company and
not as a director.
6. Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a)
the Effective Time of the Merger, or (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement
in accordance with its terms.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(b) Certain Events. Each Company Stockholder agrees that this
Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to his, her or its Company
Shares and shall be binding upon any Person to which legal or beneficial
ownership of such Company Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, including, without limitation, such Stockholder's heirs, guardians,
administrators or successors. Notwithstanding any such transfer of Company
Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all
obligations under this Agreement of the transferor.
(c) Change in Company Common Stock. In the event of a stock
dividend or distribution, or any change in the Company Common Stock by reason of
any stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares
or the like, the term "Company Shares" shall be deemed to refer to and include
the Company Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any
shares into which or for which any or all of the Company Shares may be changed
or exchanged.
(d) Acquisition of Additional Company Shares. Each Company
Stockholder agrees to promptly notify Parent of the number of shares of Company
Common Stock acquired by such Company Stockholder, if any, after the date of
this Agreement.
(e) Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Each Company Stockholder
hereby waives, releases and discharges any rights of appraisal or rights to
dissent from the Merger that such Company Stockholder may have.
(f) Assignments; Rights of Assignees; Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any Company Stockholder
without the prior written consent of Parent and Sub. This Agreement shall be
binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives,
successors and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed or referred to in this
Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the
parties to this
4
Agreement or their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors or permitted assigns any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained
herein.
(g) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that
money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of
the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that will be suffered by the
non-breaching party or parties in the event that this Agreement is breached.
Therefore, each of the parties agrees that the non-breaching party or parties
may obtain specific performance of this Agreement and injunctive and other
equitable relief against any breach hereof, without the necessity of
establishing irreparable harm or posting any bond, in addition to any other
remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity.
(h) Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall
be effective unless it is in writing signed by the party granting the waiver,
and a waiver by any party hereto of any one or more defaults shall not operate
as a waiver of any future default or defaults, whether of a like or of a
different character. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of any other provisions (whether or not similar), nor shall
such a waiver constitute a continuing waiver, unless otherwise expressly
provided.
(i) Section Headings. Headings contained in this Agreement are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, or extend
the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provisions thereof.
(j) Choice of Law. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
(without regard to the principles of conflicts of law) applicable to a contract
executed and to be performed in such State. Each party hereto (i) agrees to
submit to personal jurisdiction and to waive any objection as to venue in the
state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, (ii) agrees that
any action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in such courts, unless
subject matter jurisdiction or personal jurisdiction cannot be obtained, and
(iii) agrees that service of process on any party in any such action shall be
effective if made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the
address specified herein, or to any panics hereto at such other addresses as he,
she or it may from time to time specify to the other parties in writing for such
purpose. The exclusive choice of forum set forth in this paragraph shall not be
deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum or the
taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce such judgment in any
appropriate jurisdiction.
(k) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to
any party hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly
given only if delivered personally or by facsimile transmission or mailed (first
class mail postage prepaid), or by overnight express courier (charges prepaid or
billed to the account of the sender) to the parties at the following addresses
or facsimile numbers:
